Lower Colorado River Authority Territory Mapping Survey

The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) contracted with Loomis Partners to perform a complete territory mapping survey of the golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) on the Wheless Preserve during the 2002 breeding season. Primary objectives of this study were to provide updated data on warbler territories on the entire Wheless Preserve and on the two 100-acre census plots designated as prime habitat and transitional habitat. Secondary objectives were to obtain data on warbler reproduction and on the occurrence on the property of brown-headed cowbirds, invasive plant species and rare plant species. The Wheless Preserve is a part of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.
